Legislative Activity

The "Back to Work Act" limits federal employee telework to a maximum of 40% of workdays per pay period, with agency head approval and annual review. It allows for further restrictions or waivers based on specific roles or circumstances. The bill also mandates annual reports to Congress detailing telework's impact and requires a Comptroller General evaluation of these reports. These changes take effect 180 days after enactment.

The Fair Milk Pricing for Farmers Act requires dairy manufacturers to report their production costs and product yield information. The Secretary will then publish a report every two years with the collected data, starting three years after the law's enactment. This aims to increase transparency in dairy processing costs.

The "Sunshine Protection Act of 2025" aims to establish permanent daylight saving time across the United States, effectively eliminating the need to change clocks twice a year. This bill repeals the provision allowing for standard time and adjusts time zone calculations accordingly. States that previously opted out of daylight saving time are given the option to choose between the new permanent daylight saving time or the previous standard time. The act also updates cross-references to ensure legal consistency with these changes.
